Family Grossulariaceae

Ribes uva-crispa ‘Invicta’ is a vigorous gooseberry bush known for its high productivity and good disease resistance. This dense, bushy fruit shrub develops thorny branches bearing an abundance of large, pale green fruits that become translucent when ripe. Very firm, juicy, and pleasantly tart, these berries are ideal for jams, jellies, pies, and artisanal processing. Its discreet spring flowering attracts pollinators and ensures a generous and regular summer harvest. Its bright green foliage adds texture and volume to the vegetable garden or as a fruiting hedge. Ribes uva-crispa ‘Invicta’ combines hardiness, high yield, and reliable cultivation in rich, well-drained soil.
